RIght now, on powerbi.com, there is no ability to organize reports, dashboards, etc into folders. If you have a lot of content or users, this gets messy quickly.

Please add the ability to organize into folders (and secure those folders separately)

This hierarchy of folders is needed as soon as possible.

reading the comments above, it's amazing MS hasn't sorted this out... YOUR COMPETITORS HAVE. you are really alienating a lot of your loyal customers.

this has been 'in your plan' for years now... when are you going to make it happen?!? this is consistently the Achille's heal for powerbi... you need to allow a workspace to be set up like File Manager with different security/access per subfolder

Using Power BI in a large organization is like a disaster with reports, data sources, apps scattered everywhere.

This feature has been requested for so long - many years. Really, why hasn't this been implemented? I can't think of a feature that would provide more bang for the buck in terms of user satisfaction.

We have mature deployments of Tableau and MicroStrategy and have recently started using Power BI. This is a feature that your competitors have and it's absence is making adoption of Power BI difficult.

Any idea when this task can be prioritized? This would is a base for any reporting tool and when you compare PowerBI with Tableau, this is a basic feature that is lacking.
